2009 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition

Deadline: 5 September 2009 (RECEIVE) & (Hand Delivery)

2009 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition
Mall Galleries in The Mall
London, UK
12 November 2009 to 22 November 2009


The ING Discerning Eye Exhibition is a show of small works independently selected by six prominent figures from different areas of the art world: two artists, two collectors and two critics. Work is selected from open submission and also from artists invited by the individual selectors. Each section is hung separately to emphasise its own distinctive identity. The impression emerges of six small exhibitions within the whole. It provides an unusual opportunity for works by lesser-known artists to be hung alongside contributions from internationally recognised names. The selectors are solely responsible for their own selection. The only restrictions are limitation of size and to select at least 25% of their section from the open submission. The deadline for entries is in London on 4 and 5 September 2009.
